Please, remember some attractions came BEFORE the movie, such as Haunted Mansion, Mission to Mars, Country Bears Jamoboree, Pirates of Caribbean and the Jungle Cruise. The tie-ins are a product of the movie that followed after the attraction.

I will be forever grateful if they don't find a place for Eddie Murphy inside the HM :roll: :shock: Not that I don't like him, but that movie was pretty bad :shock: :lol:

But most came after the movie. :D Remember the entire point of the parks, initally was to promote movies/tv. Then Disney turned their view inside out and started making movies based on the rides, with mixed results and now have gone back to the working formula of "people like it, lets make a ride".

Still, kill little mermaid from space.

Oh forgot, so Jungle Cruise wasn't before (unless you count the branded one) since it's supposed to be based on the African Queen, and Mission to Mars is unrelated to the movie I would say.

If the new movie does well, which it might as long as Del Toro doesn't get the story/design neutered, you may very well see changes come to reflect the film.

I'm really curious who thought the Country Bear Jamboree was going to make a good movie...

They don't always think it's going to be good, but sometimes they have actors/directors under contract that they need to use or lose and a script that they think won't do too poorly.

COMPLETELY LOVE the America WEST idea. I think bringing in the influence of the " American Cowboy as well as the American Indian" would be a great feel ...

Maybe...but then again, they've already spent loads lately on the HM and POTC, I would expect Disney would be spending money to updating other older attractions in the future...

Go ahead! I've heard that rumor for 15+ years so if it hasn't happened by now, I'm not taking much stock in it happening any time soon...

Agreed. I find DAK, in a way... boring. I mean, come on. The landscaping is lovely but there just isn't anything to do.

They need more dining options as well.

personally I love rafiki's planet watch. It is never very crowded, you can relax in the air conditioning,, look at the cool painted animals, meet some real ones in the meet and greet, and if you are lucky (which I have never been yet in all ym years) watch a surgery or procedure.
